Star Trek cast on Tom Snyder's Tomorrow, 1976, Part 1

[mapelleaff]

damn i didnt know scotty made up his accent! its amazing

[billace90]

If memory serves me, Tom Snyder appeared in Philly's WKYW TV 3 in the mid sixties...wasn't he in the news? Also remember Vince Leonard, and Bill Custer at the weather....good old times in the City of Brotherly Love.

[Philflash]

Great Q and A!

[TRUMPER007]

De Forest Kelley & Jimmy Doohan - we miss you! RIP

[ecar86]

Roddenberry's Trek is still the best, though the spin-offs did a good job of capturing the spirit of his universe. Abrams' universe is a real departure, though, and I fear for the future of Trek.

I went to my first ST con held in LA in, it think 1972 or 73. Mr Kelly was wating to get his car and I and two other people asked if we could get his autograph and he said, sure and even though his car was driven to the front of the hotel the con was at, he talked with us for around 45 mins---I was 21 at the time---very kind person.

[thomfing1]

bikeboy you and I must be about the same age and I completely agree with you this show had a huge impact on my personality--and my love of women--travel--adventure--curi­osity==etc...and what classy actors this cast had---pretty rare anywhere.........

[Bartman954]

De and Jim looked very good for guys who where 56 years old.

[Bartman954]

The thing was that they eventually showed the whole five years. The first three was of course, the original series. Years four and five was shown in the animated series.

[Marckymarc71]

8:07 JD is quite prophetic!

[chrisfischerxxx]

what I love..... is how Lay back De Kelley is (from what I ve seen) Like I know Science fiction was not his beg ( Westerns was his love) but he knows how much trek means and how much people love it and he respects that and I love that ....R.I.P then tho I love the "New" Trek Film there is only one bones McCoy... you will be missed

[blackburn55]

Anyone else think that Walter Koenig is sort of annoying?

[123fork]

In 1976, you looked younger as well

[simplystreeptacular]

God Bless, De. You are missed.

[regenjo]

i always thought scotty was scottish.

[memoryiotia]

Scotty is Scottish, but James Doohan, the actor who played him in the original Series and first 7 films, was Canadian, hailing from Vancouver, BC.

[uzutake]

They all look so young!

Mr. Doohan especially...he looks so healthy.

I miss Doohan and Kelley :^(

[CanadianBelle85]

BONES!  :oD

[AnakinObiwan22]

McCoy, Chekov, and Spock are my favorite!

[DavidYakima]

This was a very good interview!!!!

I love the original Star Trek to this day!!!

[ChelseaPhoenix]

Wow the first time i've heard James' original accent! I miss DeForest and James=( they seem to be real gentllemen what a loss...

[teddycatcat]

Original crew were soooo good-simon pegg is great but these guys were the best!

[somercet1]

I love DeForrest's accent.

[rideon77]

I miss them Bones and Scotty! Because they are Bones and Scotty, the real ones!!! They still live somewhere in the Universe!

[00bikeboy]

Love your comment rideon - that the departed crew of the original enterprise is still alive in some part of our universe is a wonderful thought. They're certainly alive in our hearts. I was 8 years old when TOS first aired, and I can't think of a more entertaining, imaginative and inspirational program. Without realizing it, TOS has really shaped my point of view - the future is what we choose to make of it.

[justgivemethetruth]

Gosh, almost all of these guys are gone now ... and I miss them. Gene Roddenberry was supposed to be on the show, Deforest, Scotty, Tom Snyder ... Koenig is alive

[bwahahachick]

I know, it's so sad thinking about them not being around anymore. I'd have loved to meet Deforest.

[Morgan9123]

What a gem of an interview. Great stuff

[Captmiloman]

RIP, DeForrest & Jimmy. They are missed.

[clownman76]

Go Bones

[chrisfischerxxx]

DeForest Kelley !!!!!!!!!! I miss you

[RichYan33]

Interesting what Doohan says at the 8:18 mark, about fans insisting on the original cast, what with the new movie coming out with all new actors.

[capricious71]

He was spot-on!

[Kn1t3]

I hope it revives the Star Trek Films/Series.

[tomada36]

For the 1st movie after TOS ended, it was crucial to bring back the original cast. Now, with all the spinoffs that have come and gone, it's almost moot.

[RichYan33]

Whoa! Look at Bohemian Scotty!

[Tanru2000]

It's SO good to hear James Doohan and Walter Koenig speak in their normal accents.

[Korea4Me]

Mr Kelly was gorgeous!

[batgirl690]

yeah hes a babe and the new bones is sexy too

[Heimkommen]

I agree.

[eddie2angel]

though there can only ever be one bones :)

[slitheen]

I love that old fashioned southern gentleman accent of DeForest's. It's like on the old movies you see. Beautiful speaking voice...full of character.

I'm so glad Karl Urban seems to realise the opportunity he has been given, and he seems to be paying the due reverence & respect owed to the role of young McCoy. My heart leaped when I heard him speak so respectfully of DeForest. I think his portrayal will be the surprise fans favourite of the new film, and not Quinto's Spock...as was expected.

[Nejipromaster95]

oh god Deforest is amazing!

[JP5466]

Fantastic! Thank you very much for posting this!

[bphutchins]

holy cow tom snyder had brown hair

[TibetKanagawa]

Koenig's hair was spectacular in this! SPECTACULAR!!!

[Simoneallen1]

but that's his real hair - nowhere near as spectacular as that godawful wig they made the poor guy wear!

[TrippingOverGod]

Doohan really lives in it doesn't he. First time I've heard him speak in his real accent too, bizarrely. Great to see this stuff on YouTube, it's the kind of thing this site is for.

[TheChronicOne]

This is awesome. So glad this stuff is available to view.

FUCK the corporate assholes that want to steal things such as this away from us.

[lazerweb]

well said!

[cuttock]

Dee, Morgan and of course James Earl Jones.

[gclark03]

DeForest had a rich and unique speaking voice matched only by that of Morgan Freeman.

[battlestarmarc]

very good clip, thank you memoryoita.

[hysangearring]

Man, I miss seeing De in the movies.

[Farqual0071]

I love kelley and koenig and doohan =))

[Flyboy243]

Notice how nearly all of them are wearing jean collared-jackets...

[espouse]

Very cool video. Thanks.

Two of the three being interviewed are no longer with us, so it is very special to see a clip like this.

[verbusen]

That clip is solid gold my friend! I was at a convention around 1975 in NYC (age 12), had those blue prints mentioned. When I saw those guys you could tell they treated the show with respect, it just made Star Trek a great phenomenon. I'd have to say it was De Forrest and James, and George, and Nicole who really grew that fan base in the mid 70's because they were the ones who attended those conventions at that time. I hope there is a part two available so I can see this awesome clip some more!

[memoryiotia]

That's awesome. Thanks! You should be able to find parts 2, 3, 4, and 5 either in the "Related Videos" or "More From". This is probably one of the best ST interviews I've ever come across myself.

[chrisfischerxxx]

DeForest Kelley forever

[branaginslaw]

i wish the original cast had made more movies

[memoryiotia]

Amen to that.

[FilmsRreel]

MUST SEE TV!!!

[ragexgod]

very interesting--thanks for uploading this : )
